It is what it is...

You wear no mask, you're such a disgrace,
you spread your lies all over the place.

I am Donny, a very smart guy.
I know lots of things 'cause I lie.
I remembered five things*, 
like a king among kings.
I'm a stable and smarty-pants guy.

I can't believe what we must endure under the reign of this president.  It started on inauguration day with a lie about the size of his crowd and has been building momentum ever since.  One might even say the lies have blossomed into a veritable ocean of devotion he pays to the art of bald-faced, flat-out lying through his teeth.

The coronavirus crisis didn't have to go this badly in America.  It could have been much better had we a semblance of leadership, empathy, and heedfulness to the words from our medical scientists.  

Instead, our "Authoritarian-in-Chief" took the low road and placed his desire to win re-election above all else.  The expert words of caution from Dr. Fauci and Dr. Blix were muzzled when they interferred with the plans of the "Chief."  It was simply a rule that the needs of the few came before the needs of the many.  

No words have ever been uttered from the president regarding the carnage that our nation is suffering.  No words about the terrible illness and death from covid-19 of our precious citizens were ever heard from our "leader."  No empathy!  No words of courage!  No words of hope!  No words of prayer!  No words of pleading with the nation to heed the rules of "mask, wash your hands, and practice social distancing" from the doctors.  No nothing!

Only words of "we're doing great, open up the country, get our kids back to school, and masks are for losers!"

America, it didn't have to be this way.  It could have been so much better.  If only we had a leader who knew how to lead.

His response to the nearly 160,000 deaths from covid-19:
"It is what it is."

(but he could remember  - for fifteen minutes -  those five words from his cognitive test that he thought was an IQ test.)

The Trees Kept Voting for the Axe. . .

Opinion by John Watson   "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for  the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."   - A Turkish Proverb   This proverb reflects the idea that the perpetrator of harm may forget their actions, but the victim will always remember.  Whatever your political leaning, I have found this proverb interesting. For me, it has always found its way into different aspects of  political thoughts and discussions. During this particularly stressful election where our very basic needs are being challenged, The perpetrator has quite easily convinced a large group his base of accepting him because he will get them everything their hearts desire if they will but elect him. It has nothing to do with what he can do for them - it has only to do what they will do for him! He wants what he wants and he asks them to supply the votes. What they will get in return is neither inferred nor

  THE RETRIBUTIONIST He is a legend in his own mind He has promised to call out his Flying Monkeys to wreak hell and damnation on the "enemies of the people." They will be driven from the face of the earth.  Who are they?  The news media. Are there others?  Anyone who won't stand with him.  Once again, Trump is ratcheting up his use of the derisive label to attack the news media. Trump tweeted, "The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, "Make America Great Again." "They can't stand the fact that this Administration  has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first two years," he continued, "They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell "1984" Donald Trump is up to his old, untruthful campaign slogans once again. His attack on America'

Confession of a   Social Climber Before I cash in my chips and curl up my toes, I need to confess to a terrible crime. For more than 86 years I have been a terrible liar about an important moment in of my life. As everyone who knows me is aware, I have always said my home town was Fort Benton. But, I hope everyone will find a way to forgive me for that terrible fib. I admit I was a social climber from birth. I wanted the world to know I was from a large city. When I was born, my parents and and older brother lived in the beautiful town of Virgelle, Montana. We also had a farm across the river from Virgelle and south about five miles on top of the river breaks. We lived there for about three years and then moved back to the farm. So, realistically, my home town is Virgelle. My family lived there  before we lived in Fort Benton.  When I started school, we moved into a home in that beautiful, big, bustling metropolis of Fort Benton, where I was educated. I was so happy and just knew I wou
